This modern Queenslander-inspired home design takes inspiration from the iconic Queenslanders of the past but incorporates contemporary features and materials to create a comfortable and stylish living space that suits the needs of today's homeowners. The home features the classic elevated design of a Queenslander with a raised foundation. This elevated design not only pays homage to tradition but also provides natural ventilation, as well as protection against flooding from the nearby water body, Ithaca Creek.
A spacious wrap-around & screened veranda extends around the upper level, offering a shaded outdoor living space. The lower exterior of the house is adorned with vertical timber cladding in a natural finish. This adds a touch of traditional charm while maintaining a modern aesthetic.
The low-pitched gable parapet roof extends the full width of the façade. The roof is made of traditional zincalume steel for durability and energy efficiency.
This reimagined Queenslander-inspired home blends the charm of traditional Queenslander design with contemporary features, creating a welcoming, functional, and visually appealing living space. It offers the best of both worlds, honouring the past while embracing the comforts and aesthetics of modern living.
